Chapter 6: Maintaining Your Filtered Enclosure
Operation
The Guardian Digital Airflow Monitor consists of the airflow sensor, the Alarm Unit, and the 15 VDC power supply. For 115V operation the alarm unit is powered by plugging the power supply into the
Digital 1000 Calibration
The filtered enclosure comes factory calibrated with the monitor alarm at 60 ± 10 fpm with the inflow velocity set at 90± 10 fpm. To change the calibration, review the Labconco 1000 Alarm User’s Manual that comes with the enclosure. To successfully calibrate, it will be necessary to change the face velocity by adjusting the airflow exhaust volume with the speed control. The exhaust volume can be adjusted with the speed control or by using an adjustable damper for outside exhaust. NOTE: For accurate calibration, the front panel needs to be in place for each low calibration and high calibration set points to simulate real usage.
Typical calibration conditions are set at face velocity air sample differences of a least 50 feet per minute. However, the airflow monitor is factory set and calibrated with a difference of at least 20 fpm and can be changed in the CAL CONFIG MENU by changing the “lower/higher air sample difference.” If changed, then also change the “sensor difference” in CAL CONFIG MENU from
10% to 3%. To change the red “Low” airflow alarm and yellow “CAUTION” adjust the values in CAL CONFIG MENU. Set “WARNING or CAUTION” air reset to 3 fpm. To complete the CAL CONFIGURATION, be sure to enter “Done.”
